In this article you will gain knowledge on how to generate data for performance testing.
Step 1
Log in to the Magento server as, or switch to, a user who has permissions to write to the Magento file system. One way you can achieve this is by switching to the Magento file system owner.
If you use the bash shell, you can also use the following syntax to switch to the Magento file system owner and enter the command given below at the same time:su <Magento file system owner> -s /bin/bash -c <command>
If the Magento file system owner does not allow logins you can do the following:sudo -u <Magento file system owner> <command>
Step 2
To run Magento commands from any directory, add <your Magento install dir>/bin to your system PATH.
bash shell example for CentOS:
Run the data generator
Run the command as discussed in this section.
Command options:bin/magento setup:perf:generate-fixtures {path to profile}
Where <path to profile> specifies the absolute file system path to, and name of, a profile.
For Example:bin/magento setup:perf:generate-fixtures /var/www/html/magento2/setup/performance-toolkit/profiles/ce/small.xml
Detailed information about fixtures
The following sections discuss additional details about the performance fixtures.
Admin users
Generates admin users. XML profile node:
<!-- Number of admin users -->
<admin_users>{int}</admin_users>Attribute sets

Generates bundle products. Generated bundle selections are not displayed individually in the catalog. Products will be uniformly distributed according to the categories and websites. If assign_entities_to_all_websites from the profile is set to 1, products will be assigned to all the websites. XML profile node:

Distribution per Default and pre-defined attribute sets:
<!-- Number of configurable products -->
<configurable_products>{int}</configurable_products>Generate products based on an existing attribute set:

<attributes>{int}</attributes>
<!-- Number of options per attribute -->
<options>{int}</options>
<!-- Configurable sku pattern with %s -->
<sku>{string}</sku>
<!-- Number of configurable products -->

<category>[{string}]</category>
<!-- Type of Swatch attribute e.g. color|image -->
<swatches>{string}</swatches>
</config>
<!-- ... more entries ... -->
</configurable_products>Generate products based on a dynamically created attribute set with a specified configuration per each attribute:
<configurable_products>
<config>
<attributes>
<!-- Configuration for a first attribute -->
<attribute>
<!-- Amount of options per attribute -->
<options>{int}</options>
<!-- Type of Swatch attribute -->
<swatches>{string}</swatches>
</attribute>
<!-- Configuration for the second attribute -->
<attribute>
<!-- Amount of options per attribute -->
<options>{int}</options>
</attribute>
</attributes>
<!-- Configurable sku pattern with %s -->
<sku>{string}</sku>
<!-- Number of configurable products -->
<products>{int}</products>
<!-- Category Name. Optional. By default, the category name from Categories fixture will be used -->
<category>[{string}]</category>
</config>
<!-- ... more entries ... -->
</configurable_products>Customers

Once the data generation command is completed.
You need to check the command output:

|- Websites: 1
|- Store Groups Count: 1
|- Store Views Count: 1
|- Categories: 30
|- Attribute Sets (Default): 3
|- Attribute Sets (Extra): 10
|- Simple products: 800
|- Configurable products: 0
|--- 5 products for attribute set "Attribute Set 1"
|--- 5 products for attribute set "Attribute Set 2"
|--- 5 products for attribute set "Attribute Set 3"
|--- 40 products for attribute set "Dynamic Attribute Set 1-24"
|- Product images: 100, 3 per product
|- Customers: 200
